[106]
Much alike
these two legislators, Solon and Timocrates,—are they not, men of
Athens? Solon aims at the
reformation of the living and of the unborn; Timocrates points the scoundrels of
the past to a road by which they may escape justice, and invents a scheme of
impunity for malefactors present and malefactors to come, providing deliverance
and reprieve for past, present, and future sinners alike.
